Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He had asked Fock to name the lowest figure for the Pagel collection before cabling to Baltimore. Asks him to send the titles of the Servetus pamphlets, of which he has a number. He has the Mosheim he referred to and his "Historia." There is a larger book that he does not have. The first edition of the "Hudibras" was in 1726. He has a "Religio Jurisprudentis" and several other, but not the "Juriconsulti." Sorry that he missed the Nurnberg Restitutio (Christianismi of Servetus). Payne left him his. Comments on the Pagel catalogue. Thanks.
Letter to Henry Barton Jacobs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Mentions that they knew about it ten days ago, but had to keep the secret. George R. was so impressed by his wife and Nona and Ottilie that he sent a word to Asquith. Such a torrent of cables and telegrams. Reflection on the fact that they were happy before and he hopes that it will not disturb his 'Aequanimitas'. His wife and the girls are in town for fun and he has a peaceful time at home. Will ask Phipps for the extra 1000 pounds (Payne books). Shall be heart broken if they do not get it. Mention that the baronetcy fees are ruinous. Civilities. Signed Sir Billy.

Will see her in September.
